One dungeon per patch!?

[Lambdafish]

My point of view is as simple as that: Ultimate should not count as a major part of the content, nor should it address a large % of a patch. The reasons for this are very simple; on the one hand, it's completely niche content and on the other hand, I'm sure it's played by a very small percentage of the playerbase.

You do realise the insane bulk of content we got in 5.1 right? Compare the amount of stuff we got 3.1 or even 4.1. We got ishgardian restoration, BLU, ultimate, and a complete overhaul of crafting/gathering, new game +, and a new PVP mode. Don't pretend that casual players are losing out because top end raiders have exciting content.

The developers have explicitly stated that ultimate is designed to not be a drain on resources. They use reused assets, and don't play any part on the lore. The only "expensive" thing about ultimate is the ending of alexander ultimate, and that was likely done because the developers see ultimate as a success. Why do they see ultimate as a success when so few players do it? Because constructive feedback is almost unanimously positive, and XIV saw a huge boost on sites like twitch where I believe it was even trending during UCOB and UWU.

The likes on your posts compared to those who disagree with you, as well as the replies to your comments put you, ironically, in the minority here. Maybe try to understand what people love about ultimate rather than crying that you can't do it (or maybe suck it up, get a static, and make it a goal of yours).

Just waiting to see the results of removing the dungeon. If they removed the 1 dungeon to add in a 3rd ultimate raid then IMO its a waste.

See my list of 5.1 content, I believe the results already speak for themselves. 5.2 looks promising too, with additional Ishgardian restoration, 2 trials, exploration relic content, and more crafting/gathering stuff including relics and fishing boat, and thats just from one live letter.
